    If I were a 1%'er I'd be all over this.

    Even if I'm not going to space, I'll probably visit the port someday just to check it out.

    $21K in fees from the ticketmaster?? They should be abolished.

    In interior of the space plane looks sweet. I wish they could make the technology to have bigger windows, something like my house windows or windshield. The universe is too beautiful to only look at it from a tiny circular window.

    The last glide test almost crashed, but to see the earth from space with your own eyes... well that's worth the risk.

    It would be one hell of a fun ride -- looks just like the X-15 (not nearly as bad ass though).

    If Richard Branson didn't have a little bit of vision, I feel like the Ansari X-Prize might have had a very minimal impact.
